The Meaning Of Year 5777 ( The Year Of The Sword ) – Pastor Amie Dockery

Theme – Rosh Hashanah means the “head of the new year.” This is the beginning of the Hebrew year 5777. These numbers have prophetic significance, which includes God’s promise that when we observe the Sabbath – by weekly separating ourselves from our work – we will be freed from the earthly things that enslave us.

God’s promises for each new year

Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the new year on the Hebrew calendar.

This is the new Hebrew year 5777.

There is prophetic meaning to these numbers. God has something special for us in each new Hebrew year if we pay attention to what He is offering through the prophecy.

The symbols of the year 5777

Hei (the number 5) – “look and see, behold”

Zayin (the first 7) – “the beautiful kingdom”

Ayin (the second 7) – “to see, to perceive, observe, discern”

Zayin (the third 7)

Zayin

The symbol zayin can be used to represent different things.

Zayin is the number 7.

Zayin is the letter z.

Zayin is the word meaning “sword or sharp weapon.”

The sentence “Behold the beautiful kingdom, observing the sacred sword that separates the old and sanctifies the new” can be discerned from the numbers 5777.

Symbolism of the number 7

Seven is a number that represents divine completion.

Seven represents something is ending and a new thing is beginning.

There are numerous Biblical examples of the significance of the number seven.

The sword

The symbol for Zayin looks like a sword.

The sword is a weapon that cuts and separates.

Exodus 31:13 reads, “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.”

This verse is very similar to the prophetic interpretation of the numbers 5777.

God clearly told His people to observe His Sabbaths.

Many Christians are dismissive of the Fourth Commandment “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God . . .”

Perhaps many Christians have concluded the Fourth Commandment is not as important as some of the other commandments. As with disobedience to any other commandment, have we been disobedient of the Fourth Commandment to our own harm?

Drawing the line

A more detailed reading of 5777 is, “Behold my covenant sign, to eat and observe the end of the old and beginning of the new.”

Christians should use this prophetic interpretation to draw a line, and to submit themselves to observing a Sabbath rest every week.

It is not easy to make this commitment. It takes conviction.

God will bring revelation. He speaks to us when we make the effort to separate ourselves from our worldly affairs and their distractions.

Choose a 24 hour period each week as a Sabbath rest. Some at Covenant have identified sundown Friday to sundown Saturday as this sacred time.

Reflective Questions for The Year of 5777

Do you believe there is prophetic meaning behind the symbols of the Hebrew years? Why or why not?

Does Pastor Amie’s reading of the meaning behind the numbers 5777 make sense to you?

Why do you suppose God would make observing a Sabbath rest so important?

Why might God be reemphasizing the importance of observing a weekly Sabbath in this new year 5777?

Do you have a personal testimony of the blessings that come with observing a regular rest day?

Who We Are

When we founded Covenant Church we dreamed of a church where we could worship God in Spirit and in truth—a place where we celebrate and share the message of God’s desire to be in relationship with us. Through vibrant worship and powerful messages from the Word of God we are pointing to Christ and power of His Spirit. We hope what you’ll find is a church where you can experience God in a fresh, new and unexpected way.

Our heart for ministry stretches beyond the walls of our main campus, to campuses located all over the metroplex and beyond. These thriving campuses express the same values and goals with unique personalities that reflect each community. Our team of campuses is dedicated to life change and seeks to reflect the diverse tapestry of each community and lift high the values of the Kingdom.

Our partner churches, Churches in Covenant, all over the nation and abroad are spreading the same message of reconciliation through Christ and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Through these partner churches as well as through our multiple campuses and missions outreach, we are committed to reaching people for Christ and empowering them to take steps of spiritual growth in covenant relationship.

What Are Small Groups?

Small Groups at Covenant Church are here tocreate healthy environments, where covenant relationships are made, and spiritual growth happens naturally.

Small Groups provide a place where we really get to know one another—up close and personal. These groups offer regular support, fellowship and fun and can be based on any common interest, life stage or location. Monthly meetings provide a safe, friendly environment where we can grow in faith, discuss life and discern the leading of the Holy Spirit together in community.

Small Groups are as varied and creative as our membership. Some small groups specialize in prayer, others focus on particular family needs, while still others are built around members’ interest in a particular activity or sport. Some groups just meet to share friendly conversation and a good meal.

Small Groups are all about living life and developing meaningful relationships. We hope and pray you’ll find your Small Group today.

I hope I can draw you closer to HIM. Huge Blessings!
